The authors would like to thank the participants of the three panels — the Tribal Panel, the Eastside

Panel, and the Upper Basin Panel — who gave their time and effort to understanding the project and

offered their perspectives on social impacts of the alternatives. The comments and discussions of panel

members were an invaluable source of data in helping to understand peoples' concerns and issues. We

encourage readers who would like more detail on the panels' discussions to read the detailed notes from

each in the Bolle Center Report, on file with the ICBEMP office in Walla Walla.
